ITP

I JUST RESENTLY FOUND OUT MY TWO YEAR OLD DAUGTHER HAS ITP. FROM WHAT THE DOCTOR TELLS ME. IS THAT USAULLY IN LITTLE CHILDREN YOU FIND OUT FROM UNEXPLAINED BRUISES. BUT WE FOUND OUT WHEN SHE HAD FALLEN OFF A COUNTER TRYING TO GET SOME CHIPS AND HIT THE BACK OF HER HEAD. JUST A SMALL FALL LIKE THAT CAUSED BLEEDING ON THE INSIDE OF THE BACK OF HER SKULL AND INSIDE THE FRONT OF HER BRAIN. AND BECAUSE OF THE ITP SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THAT SERIOUS SUDDENLY BECAME LIFE THREATENING. SHE CAME THROUGH IT ALRIGHT BUT FOR THE THE NEXTED EIGHT WEEKS SHE HAS TO HAVE BLOOD TESTS TO WATCH HER PLATETTE COUNT.AND THE DOCTOR GIVE ME INFO THAT MAY HELP ANYONE WITH ITP.
